Dairy Free Foods

Why do people go dairy free?

There are lots of reasons why someone might need or choose to go on a dairy free diet. Maybe they have a protein allergy that can cause life threatening anaphylaxis if consumed. Maybe they get a lot of sinus related problems that don't seem to have any other cause. Or the lactose sugar in the milk is not able to be digested properly and then ferments in the intestine leading to a range of gut symptoms including bloating and wind or gastric reflux. Or.. maybe they choose to consume a vegan diet and therefore need to locate alternative products that are cruelty free.

Whatever the reason, if you feel better by choosing not to drink cow’s milk or eat foods that contain dairy, then you've come to the right place.

Our filter system and detailed product descriptions

At Hopper HQ, we got to a lot of trouble to find foods that mean people with special dietary needs never need to miss out. We've coded all of our products so you can use our filter system and know that only the type of products you want to see will be shown. For example, if you select the 'Dairy free' option on our store filter system, then you will only see the products that have been tagged as dairy free. If you do not need 100% dairy free products, then you can use the 'free from ingredients’ filter.

We also understand that many people who live with special dietary needs can sometimes feel they cannot trust manufacturers or cafes and restaurants who claim their menu or products are free from. People tend not to venture out too far as it just gets too difficult and exhausting. We understand that many companies do not know how to label allergens correctly and this makes it confusing for everyone. This is why we have the filter system in place and information about traces statements on all our products. We’ve give you as much information as possible so you can decide what the level of risk is for you or your family.

Our Hopper HQ team work very hard to make sure that our products are free from dairy. We do have dairy products on site in our café, but we have procedures in place to ensure there is no contamination. If you ever have any questions about our products and risk of contamination in our kitchen, please feel free to get in touch. We are very happy to help.
